Track 2-2-1: Plant Diseases, Insect Pests and Weed Management
Description
Gastrointestinal (GI) helminths infections are considered as one of the most devastating diseases of livestock as it causes mortality, morbidity and thereby economic losses to the livestock owners. Infective larvae of nematodes are the source of infection to the livestock and one of the ways of nematode infection to the livestock is the ingestion of infective larvae (L3) through contaminated pasture. The count of infective larvae could give an idea of infection in animals grazed in a particular pasture land. Management of pasture is an important component of nematode parasite control programs. In the present study, pasture larval burden (PLB) of nematodes in a grazing pasture land of goats of a subtropical hill region of RiBhoi district of Meghalaya has been worked out during the year 2012-13, as such type of study has not yet been done earlier in this region.
